Type of spice and some capsicum inside (5)
I believe the answer is:
cumin
'type of spice' is the definition.
'some capsicum inside' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'CUMIN' is hidden in the letters of 'capsicum inside'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for cumin that I've seen before include "relief from wind" , "Mediterranean plant with aromatic seeds" , "Aromatic seeds used in cooking" , "Spice used in curries" , "Spice used in chilli and curry powder" .)
